Right let's get fecking stuck into them from the first whistle to the last... we may not be on the pitch with the boys but we are fighting for our survival out there and we need to do our bit off the park!!!
I expect the crowd to make noise throughout the game without one moment of silence - a wall of sound, to break the hopes and spirits of the Falkirk faithful!
Let's show these soft southern, wheel loving, central belters exactly what it means to be born in the highlands!!
I don't expect any ICT fan to leave the TCS with their voice still intact... Do you want to be sitting in the Innes after the game thinking "if only I had tried that bit harder to encourage Zadi to bomb down the left wing, for Imrie to try that extra bit of magic, for Tokely to get his head to a corner from Blackie??"
Think of of everytime you've seen teuchter spelt incorrectly?? everytime you've heard that bloody 'Amarillo' song at westfield?? the apologetic look you get when you tell someone from down south where you're from?? that tw@t from Real Radio!!
I don?t know what to say, really. This Saturday will be the biggest battle of our lives. Now either we heal as a team or we?re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we?re finished.
We?re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here -- get the 5hit kicked out of us -- or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.
Now, I can?t do it for you. I?m too old. I look around. I see these young faces, and I think -- I mean -- I made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who?s ever loved me. And lately, I can?t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that's...part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life?s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small -- I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don?t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don?t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They?re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that?s gonna make the fuckin' difference between winning and losing! Between livin' and dyin'!
I?ll tell you this: In any fight, it?s the guy who?s willing to die who?s gonna win that inch. And I know if I?m gonna have any life anymore, it?s because I?m still willin' to fight and die for that inch. Because that?s what livin' is! The six inches in front of your face!!
Now I can?t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you?re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you?re gonna do the same for him!
That?s a team, gentleman!
And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
Aaaaarrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!
